Answer:B) a reactant that undergoes reduction
Explanation:
Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases during oxidation.
Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced during reduction.

Overall reaction: 
The substance M which itself gets oxidized, reduces other and is called as reducing agent. The substance N which itself gets reduced, oxidizes other and is called as oxidizing agent.

By the Balanced eqn
60g ethane requires 7x32= 224g oxygen
here ethane is in excess.oxygen will be fully consumed
hence
300g oxygen will consume

leaving (270-80.36)= 189.64 g ethane.
By the Balanced eqn
60g ethane produces 4x44 g CO2
hence amount of CO2 produced =

Answer:
Explanation:
In a chemical formula, the oxidation state of transition metals can be determined by establishing the relationships between the electrons gained and that which is lost by an atom.
We know that for compounds to be formed, atoms would either lose, gain or share electrons between one another.
The oxidation state is usually expressed using the oxidation number and it is a formal charge assigned to an atom which is present in a molecule or ion.
To ascertain the oxidation state, we have to comply with some rules:
- The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of an atom in a neutral compound is zero.
- The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is equal to the charge on the ion.
For example, let us find the oxidation state of Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻
This would be: 2x + 7(-2) = -2
x = +6
We see that the oxidation number of Cr, a transition metal in the given ion is +6.
Some of the NH₄+ will combine with the OH- and shift the equilibrium backwards and from NH₄OH to balance the change produced by addition of NH₄+ ions.
